Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared on Friday's episode of "Canada's Drag Race: Canada vs. the World" to offer the contestants words of inspiration before the main challenge.

Trudeau was described as the first global leader to visit the competition series founded by RuPaul.

During the episode, the Prime Minister shared his thoughts on Canada's efforts to embrace diversity, noting that there is still much work to be done towards building an alliance in Canada.

After his remarks, the queens were moved by his words, with contestant Stephanie Prince feeling sad, and tearfully saying that Trudeau's work on immigration has made it easier for minorities, refugees, and the marginalized to migrate to Canada for a better life.

The Crave series, which aired the same day Trudeau was tested before the public inquiry examining his government's decision to invoke the Emergencies Act to help remove the "Freedom Convoy" protest blockade last winter, was broadcast.

Guest judges in the episode included Canadian Drag Race winner Priyanka and activist Sarain Fox, who joined judge Tracy Melchor.

Also, host Brooke Lynn Hytes thanked Trudeau for supporting the LGBTQ+ community and participating in the Pride parade.

Trudeau's appearance was brief, before the international drag queens competed in challenges until the winner was crowned.
